I am writing a multi-part series of blog posts about the poetry and songs we presented in our first house concert. These writings and videos are intended to inspire your creative works. It is through our creative works that we will prevail.

I am really interested in the possibilities of sharing music and poetry, spoken word, using Zoom. The constraint is that you can't sing together online at the same time. The benefit is that you get to share your work with others near and far, and, in sharing, we are all elevated.

I do not have time or energy to argue about values and beliefs with those who want to convince me their moral and ethical turpitude is defensible. I prefer to focus on building strength in my neighbourhood, creating a resilient, adaptive household, and and evolving culture that bends toward equality

Never in my life have I spent everyday articulating, in writing, what it means to be a member of the human race, what I stand for, what I believe, and what I value. This is where we are. Everyday I remind myself, by sharing with you, what is my next most important next step.

Building soil health.

The worms bins are going through a big division - I'm pulling out half the worms and castings to give them room for the winter. The wheelbarrow was filled by extraction from four bins. I have eight bins left to process. Likely two more wheelbarrow loads of soil life.

Dear Canadian Media. I do not and will not read any articles about how Canadians are divided across economic, ideological, religious or political lines. Those are all constructions of human imagination that are used to weaken us. I want to hear how we are building connectivity and strength.

From Portland Folk Music Society - we can accomplish the impossible when we sing together.

The Singing Revolution. Not enough of us know how amazingly important singing was for the three Baltic States of Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania, whose refusal to kowtow to the Soviet Union led them to independence without a shot being fired. Authoritarian regimes really don't like people singing, because song brings us together. Dictators like to divide and rule and turn groups of people against other groups.

Republicans are a party that attract people with no morals, no ethics and no character. No courage, no sense of right and wrong except as it is perceived within their own arrested narcissistic development. The religious upbringing of Republicans has caused generational damage.

The Republican credo, "Do whatever you want to people we don't like. Just don't get caught breaking the law. If you get caught, deny you did it. If there is evidence, say it was a single lapse in judgement, everyone does it. If there is more evidence, say it isn't that bad to begin with."

Jenny Arntzen, PhD, PMP 🇨🇦 ✋💙🌊🇺🇦🍁 @jennyarntzen.bsky.social · 2h

The Republican fever dream is to be able to incarcerate black and brown people to use for slave labour. It is also to be able to arrest and incarcerate anyone that disagrees with them. It is also to be able to arrest and incarcerate anyone they don't like. Republicans do not want to govern.

If there is to be an ethical, moral media to protect citizens from malfeasance, it is going to be a new system of communicators who have no ties to legacy media. We have been shoddily treated by media for decades. We can simply say, "No." "We want the truth. Not spin." "There is no 'both sides'."

Eric Reinhart @eric-reinhart.com · 16h

The Trump regime is built on a metastasis of the imaginary and suffocation of the symbolic—all supplemented by an unleashing of the real of violence that thrills and ‘persuades’ the many admirers of fascism. They have used media to destroy the very possibility of meaning it is meant to transmit.

Eric Reinhart @eric-reinhart.com · 16h

It would be useful if media imposed a blackout on the fascist Trump regime, which thrives on flooding informational worlds with constant nonsense and absurdity to drown out all else. Stop interviewing them. Stop airing clips of them. Just report nonstop on the destructive effects of what they do.

I’m Conrad Cable, a first-generation farmer from Farmerville, and I’m running for Congress to take on Speaker Mike Johnson in 2026. This campaign isn’t fueled by corporate dollars — it’s powered by everyday people who are tired of being left behind.

I was thinking of another tactical advantage of oversized costumes - is it possible to wear self protective helmets, gloves, elbow and knee pads, respirators or even kevlar vests underneath? I know that affect agility, but would it give an advantage?

Jenny Arntzen, PhD, PMP 🇨🇦 ✋💙🌊🇺🇦🍁 @jennyarntzen.bsky.social · 1d

Media and legacy media are no longer useful. What is needed is a rigorous record keeping and data sharing to ensure everyone knows which crimes are being committed and where. You are in a deluge. There is no single act that is worth highlighting. Highlight the deluge and get the lawsuits rolling.

SoMuchPanicVeryLittleDisco⚾❤️🔱 @justanothergourd.bsky.social · 1d

Are we normalizing this administration's bad behavior, or is there just so much of it that in an effort to at least mention lots of it, none of it gets more than a fleeting media moment? 🤔

Jenny Arntzen, PhD, PMP 🇨🇦 ✋💙🌊🇺🇦🍁 @jennyarntzen.bsky.social · 1d

I'm wondering if it would be possible to start the lawsuits now - dates, times, events, interactions, abuses of power, assault, kidnapping, etc. and start the log book so that, when this is over, there is a comprehensive record to refer to for litigation. Also, each day, launch a lawsuit for crimes.

This comment needs to be shared far and wide. Schismogenesis - when their construction of identity is based on an imagined specific enemy and you confound that construction by wearing a frog costume or playing the bagpipes on a unicycle - they are left in a state of cognitive dissonance - confused.

The ICE fascists have come to their self-identities in schismogenesis with the phantom of Antifa. They created identity by differentiating themselves from an imagined but specific enemy. Without that enemy to legitimate their posturing, they realize they look like fools and thugs.

Dear Bluesky Folks, you have lifted my spirits to face another day. I will turn my attention to walking the dogs and getting my worm farming talk ready for the gardening club tonight. Anyone need worm castings? I'm dividing the bins today : )

Seth Abramson @sethabramson.bsky.social · 2d

Trump is online positively wailing about this picture, because he is weak and vain and cares exponentially more about himself than anything else. That said, if there is something Trump does not want America to see, that means it is probably something every American needs to see. Please share widely.

I was thinking how fanciful costumes provide strategic protection. They cause the abuser to have to process another layer of meaning - you are not so identifiable as a person they recognize. It causes a cognitive disruption as they process their perception and figure out what to do.

Our votes gave us a leader we can be proud of. No leader is perfect. If we hadn't voted we could have had the same kinds of policies coming from the Conservative party that are destroying the US. We don't want to, we cannot turn back the clocks to high colonialism, patriarchy, and capitalism.

one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump

As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.
